Default RE: WHY ARE FLIGHT SIMS SO EXPENSIVE?

phoenix does not include dummy Tx as Real Flight or FS 1. Quality dummy Tx as the one used in Real Flight is more than $40.

There are 5 simulators that are in $200 range. Don't you think that if it was economically possible, at least one of them would try to reap all sales if they lowered the price to $100? So far, no one has done so. The only conclusion is that this is the price level what would keep them in business. Please note that in the last 10 years, the price have allways been around $200. Because of the inflation the price today is much lower that it used to be. (opps... my bad. -according to Federal Reserve there is no inflation...)
